Advice for a teenager?

What if you were 16 y.o. and living in a dysfunctional family and wished above all that you had a normal family, because you want a positive environment, and because it affects your self-worth when making friends, etc. Any recommended readings (not about dysfunctional families, but something inspirational, but not religious)? Thanks.Advice for a teenager?

First of all, this life is full of problems. You have to either live with them or under them, choice is yours. But you should know that you can not change where and in which family you were born, and what kind of environment you live in, the only thing you can change how you end up in your life. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a family like you. And there should not be any hidden things like you can not make friends unless you pretend, friends should accept you in the position you are right now to be called friends. Only thing i would suggest is, you should be thankful that at least you have a family, just try to behave in the best way you can with them even if you said that they are disfunctional. You should never be ashamed of your family. That is all you have in this world.
well you have to understand that no matter how mcuh you wish your family will most likely not change so you need to find other ways to make yourself feel better about you. the friends you are able to make should build you up they can replace were yopur family should you have to stop saying I can't and say YES I can thats the only way to find true self worth I hope you can do this.
Check out your local library It won't cost you anything too look. Plus the staff could point you in the right way.
